Pharmaceutics: Advances and Applications


Book Description

Pharmaceutics is concerned with the formulation of drugs to facilitate delivery and disposition in the body. It deals with the formulation of pure drug substances into dosage forms. Some of the branches of pharmaceutics are pharmaceutical formulation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, pharmaceutical technology, dispensing pharmacy, etc. Pharmaceutical formulation is the process by which different chemical substances are combined to produce a final medicinal product. Formulation studies consider aspects of particle size, pH, polymorphism and solubility as these can influence bioavailability and thus the activity of the drug. Manufacturing of drugs involves the industrial-scale synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs through the operations of coating, milling, granulation, tablet pressing, etc. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of pharmaceutics. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. As pharmaceutical science is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts, advancements and applications of the subject.
